Leeds United confirmed a fourth arrival of the summer transfer window, announcing Gabriel Gudmundsson on a four-year deal from Ligue 1 side Lille OSC.

The Sweden international primarily plays on the left-hand-side of defence, but his versatility offers multiple options to Daniel Farke’s side as they prepare for a Premier League return.

Speaking exclusively to LUTV after signing for the Whites, the 26-year-old gave his thoughts on the move.

He said: “It feels very good. It's been a dream for me to come to the Premier League and to sign for Leeds to be a part of that, it feels amazing.

“I think I was growing up watching the Premier League and obviously my father played there as well, so it's a bit of a connection there already.

“It's an amazing league and it's a big competitive league, strongest league in the world I think, in my opinion.

“My friends and family told me that the fan base is huge [at Leeds United] and obviously I know that and also the stadium here is unbelievable as well with the fans shouting.

“I'm up for all the challenges and really looking forward to playing here in front of all the fans and with teammates and get to know everyone.

“I want to help the team with my qualities. That's what I think I came here to do, so with the experience I gained the last years, I hope to help the team with that.”
